That is his absolute legal right. And even if formally arrested and indicted, he has other rights.
* The right to legal councel.
* The right to be tried in an open court before an impartial jury of his peers.
* The right to confront witnesses and evidence against him and to cross examine or otherwise impeach said witnesses and evidence.
* An absolute presumption of innocence, until such time as a jury concludes that the evidence has proven his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Because this is one of those things things that defines us as a country and marks us out as Americans.

Exactly, he has that right and at the same time, I have the right to realize that he is, in a way, admitting guilt. What he is saying is, in effect, “I’m not gonna confess. So you have to prove it some other way.”
I'm with you. The fifth is an important right.
Can’t Mr. Simpson be give immunity from any self incrimination in his testimony and then he has to testify? I remember Congress claimed they could do nothing about Lois Lerner refusing to testify using the fifth amendment and acted helpless and someone in the media did point out they could have given her immunity in which case she had to testify but most of them did not care for the Tea Party and nothing came of it. After all Mr. Simpson is just a small fish in this conspiracy.
